2 DePuy Synthes LCP Proximal Tibial Plate 3.5 Surgical Technique
The LCP Proximal Tibial Plate 3.5 is part of the Small Frag-ment LCP System, which merges locking screw technology with conventional plating techniques.
The LCP Proximal Tibial Plate 3.5 has a limited-contact pro-file. The head and neck portions of the plate accept 3.5 mm Stardrive or hexagonal locking screws. The screw hole pat-tern allows a raft of subchondral locking screws to buttress and maintain reduction of the articular surface. This provides resistance to local depression loads in addition to the stabil-ity of the fixed-angle construct created by locking the screws into the plate.
The Locking Compression Plate (LCP) has combi-holes in the plate shaft which combine a dynamic compression unit (DCU) hole with a locking screw hole. The combi-hole pro-vides flexibility of axial compression and locking capability throughout the length of the plate shaft.

Indications – Split-type fractures of the lateral tibial plateau – Lateral split fractures with associated depressions – Pure central depression fractures – Split or depression fractures of the medial plateau
ContraindicationsIsolated shaft fractures.
Note: For associated shaft fractures is recommended to use a stronger plate such as the 4.5 mm LCP PTP or the 4.5 mm PLT/LISS plates for obese patients. In all cases an adapted reduced post-operative mobilization is manda tory.
For contraindications of Norian Drillable or chronOS Inject see the corresponding surgical techniques (Norian Drillable DSEM/BIO/0515/0032, chronOS Inject DSEM/BIO/1015/0040).
Indications and Contraindications
6 DePuy Synthes LCP Proximal Tibial Plate 3.5 Surgical Technique
1Preparation
Complete the preoperative radiographic assessment and pre-pare the preoperative plan. Determine plate length and in-struments to be used. Determine proximal screw placement and screw lengths to ensure proper screw placement in the metaphysis.
Position the patient supine on a radiolucent operating table. Visualization of the proximal tibia under fluoroscopy in both the lateral and AP views is necessary.
Required setA Small Fragment LCP Instrument Set is required when im-planting the LCP Proximal Tibial Plate 3.5.
Recommended additional sets – Basic Instrument Set, for LC-DCP and DCP – Small Fragment Instrument and Implant Set–LC-DCP,
with self-tapping screws – Bone Forceps Set – Large Distractor Set – Large External Fixator Set with self-drilling Schanz screws – Periarticular Reduction Forceps Set – Pelvic Implant Set, with self-tapping screws (for longer
length 3.5 mm cortex screws up to 110 mm)
Note: More detailed information on conventional and locked plating principles can be found in the Synthes Locking Compression Plate (LCP) surgical technique (DSEM/TRM/0115/0278(1)).
Precautions: – Instruments and screws may have sharp edges or moving
joints that may pinch or tear user’s glove or skin. – Handle devices with care and dispose worn bone cutting
instruments in an approved sharps container.

2Reduce articular surface
Note: Prior to reduction, application of an external fixator or Large Distractor (394.350) may facilitate visualization and reduction of the joint.
Reduce the fracture fragments and confirm reduction using image intensification. Fragments may be reduced using inde-pendent Kirschner wires; however, Kirschner wire holes are also provided on the plate to help achieve provisional reduc-tion, plate position, or fixation.
The locking screws do not provide interfragment or plate-to-bone compression; therefore, any desired compression must be achieved with traditional lag screws. The articular frag-ments must be reduced and compression must be obtained prior to applying the LCP Proximal Tibial Plate 3.5 with lock-ing screws.
Note: To verify that lag screws will not interfere with plate placement, hold the plate laterally to the bone.
3Determine proximal screw placement
Prior to placing the plate on the bone, thread two 2.8 mm Threaded Drill Guides (312.648) into two nonadjacent threaded holes in the plate head. Insert 2.8 mm Percutane-ous Drill Bits (324.214) through the guides and confirm that the drill bits are parallel in the transverse plane. This verifies that the guides are properly threaded into the plate, which ultimately ensures accurate screw placement.
8 DePuy Synthes LCP Proximal Tibial Plate 3.5 Surgical Technique
4Determine plate position
Using anatomic landmarks and fluoroscopy, mount the plate on the intact or reconstructed plateau without attempting to reduce the distal portion of the fracture.
Insert a 2.0 mm Kirschner Wire (292.200) through a Kirschner wire hole. Readjust plate position, if necessary. Place a second Kirschner wire in a Kirschner wire hole to prevent rotation of the plate and to secure provisional fixa-tion of the plate to the tibial plateau. The Kirschner wires should penetrate and extend several milli meters beyond the medial cortex.
Note: An additional 2.0 mm Kirschner wire may be placed in the third Kirschner wire hole to hold the plate in position.
Prior to proceeding, confirm plate head placement. Use clini-cal examination and fluoroscopy to confirm that: – Screw trajectories in the proximal locking holes are paral-
lel to the joint in the transverse plane, and the plate is orientated properly on the plateau.
– Screw and plate placement are consistent with the pre-operative plan.
– Alignment of the plate to the shaft of the tibia is correct in both the AP and lateral views. Placement of the plate at this point will determine final flexion/extension reduction.
5Drill for proximal screws
While the plate is placed against the bone, use the 2.8 mm Percutaneous Drill Bit (324.214) to drill for the locking screw through one of the two threaded guides attached to the plate. It is imperative to drill using fluoroscopy to ensure proper screw trajectory and screw placement. Drill through to the medial cortex or the desired screw tip location.
Determine the appropriate screw length indicated on thecalibrated drill bit. Remove the drill bit and drill guide.
Alternatively, the Depth Gauge (319.090) can be used todetermine the appropriate screw length.

6Insert proximal screws
Note: This plate can serve as a buttress for a medial wedge. This is accomplished by the convergence of the metaphyseal locking screws and the oblique locking screws from below.
If lag screw reduction of a fragment is required, this must be accomplished prior to inserting locking screws into the fragment. It may be necessary to predrill the lateral cortex using the 2.8 mm percutaneous drill bit.
Insert the appropriate length locking screw into the bone with power, using the 1.5 Nm Torque Limiting Attachment (TLA) (511.770 or 511.773) and Stardrive or Hexagonal Screwdriver Shaft (314.116 or 314.030).
Notes: – Always use the TLA (Torque Limiting Attachment) when
using power. – Locking screws are not lag screws. When interfragmen-
tary compression is desired, use conical screws B 3.5 mm or cortex screws B 3.5 mm.
At this point, verify screw placement using C-arm imaging.
AlternativeUse the Stardrive or Hexagonal Screwdriver (314.115 or 314.070) to manually insert the appropriate locking screw. Carefully tighten the locking screw, as excessive force is not necessary to produce effective screw-to-plate locking.
Repeat for remaining proximal locking holes. Securely tighten all locking screws to lock them to the plate.

7Reduce shaft to tibial plateau
Reduce the tibial plateau to the shaft of the tibia, using indi-rect reduction techniques whenever possible. Using atrau-matic technique, secure the plate to the tibial shaft with bone forceps.
Confirm rotational alignment of the extremity by clinicalexamination.
Once reduction is satisfactory, and if it is appropriate based on the fracture morphology, the plate should be loaded in tension using the Articulated Tension Device (321.120).*
Note: With multifragment fractures, it may not always be possible or desirable to achieve anatomic reduction of the fracture. However, in simple fracture patterns, the Articu-lated Tension Device may facilitate anatomic reduction. This device may be used to generate either compression or dis-traction.
In addition to having threaded locking holes, the plate func-tions similarly to DCP plates which offer the ability to self- compress fracture fragments. Therefore, a combination of lag screws and locking screws may be used.
Notes: – If a combination of cortex (1) and locking screws (2)
is used, a cortex screw should be inserted first to pull the plate to the bone.
– If locking screws (1) have been used to fix the plate to a fragment, subsequent insertion of a cortex screw (2) in the same fragment without loosening and retightening the locking screw is not recommended.

8Insert cortex screws in shaft of plate
Insert as many standard 3.5 mm cortex screws as necessary into the distal portion of the plate.
Note: All of the 3.5 mm cortex screws must be inserted prior to insertion of 3.5 mm locking screws.
Use the 3.5 mm Universal Drill Guide (323.360) to predrill for the 3.5 mm cortex screws and drill through both cortices with the 2.5 mm Drill Bit (310.250).
For the neutral position, press the drill guide down in the nonthreaded hole. To obtain compression, place the drill guide at the end of the nonthreaded hole away from the fracture. Do not apply downward pressure on the drill guide’s spring-loaded tip.
Measure for screw length using a depth gauge. Select and insert the appropriate length 3.5 mm cortex screw.

9Insert 3.5 mm locking screws in shaft of plate
Attach the 2.8 mm Threaded Drill Guide (312.648) to a lock-ing hole in the plate shaft. Drill a hole using the 2.8 mm Percutaneous Drill Bit (324.214).
Note: Use of the drill guide is mandatory for screws to lock to the plate properly.
Determine the appropriate screw length indicated on the calibrated drill bit.
Remove the drill bit and drill guide.
Insert the appropriate length locking screw into the bone with power, using the 1.5 Nm Torque Limiting Attachment (TLA) (511.770 or 511.773) and Stardrive or Hexagonal Screwdriver Shaft (314.116 or 314.030).
Note: Always use the TLA (Torque Limiting Attachment) when using power.
Repeat as necessary to insert additional locking screws.
Examine the limb clinically and radiographically. It is impor-tant that the tibial plateau is in proper orientation to the tibial shaft.

Determine the appropriate screw length indicated on the calibrated drill bit.
Insert the appropriate length locking screw into the bone with power, using the 1.5 Nm Torque Limiting Attachment (TLA) (511.770 or 511.773) and Stardrive or Hexagonal Screwdriver Shaft (314.116 or 314.030).
Repeat steps for the last two oblique locking screws.
AlternativeUse the Stardrive or Hexagonal Screwdriver (314.115 or 314.070) to manually insert the appropriate locking screw. Carefully tighten the locking screw, as excessive force is not necessary to produce effective screw-to-plate locking.
Screw length considerationsWhen using the appropriate length screws in the oblique locking holes, the screw tips should meet the proximal lock-ing screws.

Cleaning of Instruments
Cleaning the cannulation in the threaded drill guides is imperative for proper function.
Instruments should be cleared intraoperatively using the 2.5 mm Cleaning Stylet (319.461) to prevent accumulation of debris in the cannulation.
Implant Removal In case the physician decides to remove the implants, they can be removed by using general surgical instruments.
Unlock all screws from the plate, then remove the screws completely from the bone. This prevents simultaneous rotation of the plate when unlocking the last locking screw.For details regarding implant removal refer to the surgical technique “Screw Extraction Set” (DSEM/TRM/0614/0104).

MRI Information
Torque, Displacement and Image Artifacts according to ASTM F 2213-06, ASTM F 2052-06e1 and ASTM F2119-07Non-clinical testing of worst case scenario in a 3 T MRI system did not reveal any relevant torque or displacement of the construct for an experimentally measured local spatial gradient of the magnetic field of 3.69 T/m. The largest image artifact extended approximately 169 mm from the construct when scanned using the Gradient Echo (GE). Testing was conducted on a 3 T MRI system.
Radio-Frequency-(RF-)induced heating according to ASTM F2182-11aNon-clinical electromagnetic and thermal testing of worst case scenario lead to peak temperature rise of 9.5 °C with an average temperature rise of 6.6 °C (1.5 T) and a peak temperature rise of 5.9 °C (3 T) under MRI Conditions using RF Coils (whole body averaged specific absorption rate [SAR] of 2 W/kg for 6 minutes [1.5 T] and for 15 minutes [3 T]).
Precautions: The above mentioned test relies on non-clini-cal testing. The actual temperature rise in the patient will depend on a variety of factors beyond the SAR and time of RF application. Thus, it is recommended to pay particular attention to the following points: – It is recommended to thoroughly monitor patients under-
going MR scanning for perceived temperature and/or pain sensations.
– Patients with impaired thermoregulation or temperature sensation should be excluded from MR scanning proce-dures.
– Generally, it is recommended to use a MR system with low field strength in the presence of conductive implants. The employed specific absorption rate (SAR) should be reduced as far as possible.
– Using the ventilation system may further contribute to reduce temperature increase in the body.
